Nokia 6800

It was a unique device launched in around 2003. By introducing its QWERTY keyboard, it had taken nokia phones to a completely new level. It was relatively thin and had a ‘Blackberry-look’.

Nokia 7600

Announced in the year 2003, Nokia 7600 had a dashing design. Featuring a 128 x 160 pixel screen, it used to run on the 2G network. Being of a size of a cigarette packet, it was almost impossible to hold it in one hand. If you had to call people, the device had to be held at a 45 degree angle. Obviously, if you had one that time, people must have called you ‘silly’.

Nokia 5510

Nokia 5510 was a dedicated Multimedia and music device and had a monochrome screen. Sporting a QWERTY keyboard, it made it easier for everyone to text and communicate. It included MP3 playback which allowed the users to listen to music while typing away to friends. Since the ear-speaker was embedded in the bottom right, users had to hold the device flat to the face. No doubts, it looked similar to that of a TV remote control.

Nokia 8910i

This is the first ‘business’ phone by Nokia. Being housed in a titanium shell, this device was perfect for business use. It was 2003’s most expensive device. Although it was quite thick, it was light in weight. You had to slid the screen out to access the thin-button keypad. However, its major problem was that when users made a call, it resulted in high-pitched yelps and squeals since the shell couldn’t retain heat. It was no less than holding something frozen, every time a call had to be made.
